When you kill all of the males of your enemy and take most of the females as slaves, it really reduces the conflict. One or two battles and you could maybe kill most of your enemy. <br /><br />Today, we've almost made war a sport. There are rules and we worry about collateral damage. By making war less bloody, we've almost made it more socially acceptable. If it was the all or nothing it used to be, then we would likely be involved in far fewer conflicts.Dahveedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598673428315247734noreply@blogger.com
